a way too indulgent Erebus piece -- the personification of darkness and a deity heavily tied to the lore of the underworld~

Hecate for #ClassicsTober25 - although a minor figure in the magnificent Jupiter and Semele by Gustave Moreau - Hecate’s presence as a chthonic goddess is significant to this work.

Who should wait patiently in the shadows? Hecate stands ready to meet Semele.

#AncientRome #History
Description of the painting from Wikipedia: “ It depicts a moment from the classical myth of the mortal woman Semele, mother of the god Dionysus, and her lover, Jupiter, the king of the gods. She was treacherously advised by the goddess Juno, Jupiter's wife, to ask him to appear to her in all his divine splendor. He obliged, but, in so doing, brought about her violent death by his divine thunder and lightning.” Detail from Jupiter and Semele showing Hecate with the crescent moon crown in the lower left corner.

@classicstober.bsky.social #ClassicsTober25 Day 10: Hecate. She was often shown holding torches, a key, or snakes, or accompanied by dogs, and later depicted as three-formed or triple-bodied. She is associated with crossroads, night, light, magic, witchcraft, drugs, and the Moon. #ClassicsTober

Day 6: Moirai
A digital art piece of three women in a flat coloured style. One woman is facing head on with her body from the bust up being visible while the other two turned towards each other in neck up profile towards the camera. All three of them have brown hair pulled back from their faces and sombre expressions. The woman in the middle is wearing a white tunic. Between the two women in profile is a long white thread that the woman in the center is holding between two fingers. Next to her hand are a pair of bronze scissors opened around the string preparing to cut it.
